Fairy Tail:The Fairy In The Dark

Chapter 13

~Magnolia East Forest~
Deep within a treehouse inside of the East Forest, Stark was seen sitting beside the bedridden Makarov. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he turned around and saw the woman in charge of treating him. Her bright, pink hair shining brightly as her eyes held a cold gaze within.

"It seems like you carried him all the way here."

[Fairy Tail Medical Advisor:Porlyusica]

"Porlyusica....."

"Go home already! You already know I can't stand humans!"

As she said this, Porlyusica was swinging her broom at the young man. However, Stark was effortlessly dodging each swing as his worried gaze never left from Makarov. With a sigh escaping from her lips, Porlyusica stood beside Stark as she looked at her bedridden acquaintance.

"This all happened because he rushed into things without considering his age. You should go home, Stark. Fretting faces is the worst type of poison for a sick man."

"I will, but can you at least tell me the cause of this?"

"You said the man who did this possessed wind magic, correct? This is the work of a spell known as Drain. It's a fearful magic that forces the target's magical power to flow out of them. The drained magical power drifts off into the air and soon dissipates. If we could gather Makarov's magical power, that would speed up recovery. However, it is far too late and his recovery is prolonged."

As Porlyusica finished her explanation, she was ready to use her broom to shoo Stark away. However, she stopped herself the moment she saw the look on Stark's face. It was a look of horrific realization. Soon the dark magic user stood up and began to walk out of Porlyusica's home as he spoke in a low tone.

"Please treat Gramps well."

Porlyusica, despite her disdain for humans, couldn't help but have look of worry on her face. She could tell what was going through Stark's mind given what she just explained. Makarov was in this state because he got hit with Drain, but he also used the last bit of his strength to get Stark out of it's range. She had no doubt the young man was blaming himself. As she looked over at Makarov, Porlyusica could only shake her head.

"You caused so much trouble since the old days. For mages, magic power is like their source of life. The greater the magic power you possess, the more unimaginable pain that Drain does to you. If you don't try your best, you may die like this. Knowing you, that is the least of your worries. Since that young man has even more magic power than you.....the thought of losing him outweighed the thought of losing your own life, didn't it? You.....really are.....a fool."

~At Fairy Tail~
While everyone waited for Stark's return, the members of Fairy Tail were treating their own injuries as well as trying to plan an attack on Phantom Lord's actual headquarters. As she was now sitting down inside of the guild after being rescued by Natsu and Happy, Lucy still couldn't believe why this was all happening.
